VIDEO: Inside 'terror' alert drug factory
9:21am Wednesday 30th April 2008
Comments (11)THIS is the inside of an industrial unit which sparked a major terrorism alert.
Police pounced on the industrial estate in Birley Street, Blackburn, after a tip off in the wake of a foiled car bombing in London and the attack on Glasgow Airport last June.
But instead of making bombs, Ifzal Rafiq and Mohammed Tahir were using the fuel to help grow high-potency skunk cannabis.
Some 175 plants were found in one room, 25 "mother plants" in another and there were 62 cuttings they were trying to grow.
Rafiq, 22, and Tahir, 30, both of Keighley, pleaded guilty to producing cannabis.
Rafiq was jailed for two years and Tahir for 28 months.
Now police have released video footage of the moment they made the cannabis discovery.

How about the 6 white people that got selling hunders, possibly thousands, of ILLEGAL digi-boxes. Would you say that they too are working for the community ? If you want to start racsim, i suggest you join the BNP and see what it's really like !
Another example of our ASIAN brothers working for the community.

I think you will find that they look pretty white an scally in the pictures.
Just another example of racist biggots using these boards to spread hate. Who care whether they were asian, vietmenese, australian, american.

This Town sucks and it is not really the fault of the Asians, it's the Government's fault for letting them all in and letting them getting away with their crimes. Roll on next election because there is going to be a big big suprise coming everyones way!!!
